I keep
returning to salt marshes as a subject for my embroideries.
I work from photographs that I take
on site, and so have the opportunity to spend time in the marshes,
a serene and fulfilling environment. I find that I am drawn to
the water as
well as to the grasses; several of the 2002-3 embroideries seem
to be as much about water as about the marsh. My most recent
pieces,
Salt Marsh, Early Spring I and II (2006) are about the pattern
of light and shadow on the grass. It is always interesting
to me to
note where my visual interests are leading me. |
